Paul Wolfowitz has said, ''The polls do show that most Iraqis want us to stay as long as necessary.'' A worse case of poll abuse also occurred in September. On ''Meet the Press,'' Vice President Dick Cheney cited a Zogby poll commissioned by the conservative American Enterprise Institute as ''very positive news.'' Cheney singled out a question that asked what kind of government Iraq should replicate. Cheney said, ''The US wins hands down.'' That was another Cheney lie. Of specific countries named, the United States was the ''winner,'' but the favorite of only 21.5 percent of 600 Iraqis. In second place at 16 percent was the monarchy of Saudi Arabia. In third place at 11 percent was the dictatorship of Syria, which the White House and the US Congress have vilified in recent months for not helping us in the war on terrorism. Add in another 9.3 percent of Iraqis who favor an Egyptian or Iranian style of government and Iraqis actually favor less-democratic models of governments in the Arab world over the US model by 34.3 percent to 21.5 percent. Cheney failed to cite the finding that only 31.5 percent of respondents said the United States and Britain should help make sure a fair government is set up in Iraq, compared to 58.5 percent who say Iraqis should be left to ''work this out themselves.''
